DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Embodiments of the present disclosure enhance or change the appearance of a tissue roll and provide a scented element. In some implementations, a tissue roll is enclosed in a decorative cover which includes an outer pocket that can hold, for example, a scented sachet filled with aroma beads.

As shown in the FIGS. 1-3, the appearance of a tissue roll can be enhanced or changed by, for example, enclosing the tissue roll in a decorative cover 100, 300. As shown in the figures, the decorative cover can include an outer pocket 105, 305 that can hold a scented element such as a scented bag filled with aroma beads, for example.

In some implementations, as shown in FIG. 3, the cover 300 can include one or more decorative elements 310 a-c to camouflage the pocket. In some implementations, the outer pocket can be camouflaged by, for example, a design element 310 b, that overlaps the outer pocket and the remainder of the decorative cover.

As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the decorative cover can have an opening 110 at the top and bottom. The openings may have an elastic perimeter 115. In some embodiments, the decorative cover can have an opening at one end. One or more of the openings may be adjusted using a string, for example.

To conceal or decorate a tissue roll, the tissue roll is inserted into one end of the decorative cover and a string can be pulled to secure and/or enclose the tissue roll in the decorative cover.

A variety of fabric shapes, materials (e.g. silk, cotton, wool, linen, blends), sizes, colors, patterns, and designs can be used to cover the tissue roll. The present disclosure is applicable to all fabric types.

Reference throughout this specification to “an embodiment” or “implementation” or words of similar import means that a particular described feature, structure, or characteristic is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Thus, the phrase “in some implementations” or a phrase of similar import in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

Many modifications and other embodiments of the inventions set forth herein will come to mind to one skilled in the art to which these inventions pertain having the benefit of the teachings presented in the foregoing descriptions and the associated drawings.

The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the above description, numerous specific details are provided for a thorough understanding of embodiments of the invention. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that embodiments of the invention can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, materials, etc. In other instances, well-known structures, materials, or operations may not be shown or described in detail.

While operations are depicted in the drawings in a particular order, this should not be understood as requiring that such operations be performed in the particular order shown or in sequential order, or that all illustrated operations be performed, to achieve desirable results.
